Title: My auction buys
Post by: markt on March 03, 2007, 09:57:03 pm
Well I came home with a Area 51, beastorizer, virtual racing, capcom vs snk, two mortal combat conversion kits (boards, wiring harness, joysticks, buttons, and header) and a nibbler conversion kit.
I will post some pics later tomorrow.

Prices were all over the place.
I spent $200 on area 51 then two others went for way over $500.
A mini mame game went for almost $800.
I got the capcom game for $175, the beastorizer for $110, the virtual racing for 250.
I know what you mean about not risking the money spent,  I had planned only only buying two games at the most.

Here are some pics.
The capcom game is actually nfl blitz 99, The area 51 looks like it was at one time a  judge dread game from the overlay.
Other than the light guns intermittently not working and the screen looking a little off center on the area 51 game all games play well.

This was the reason I didn't go either. It's just too tempting.

If I remember right, the style of cab that your Capcom vs SNK is in was originally Virtua Fighter. I mainly recognized it because of this project: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=63008.0

Here's a KLOV pic.

The overlay for Area 51 is a bit odd, but if you're going to have mis-matched artwork you could definitely do worse than Judge Dredd artwork by Brian Bolland.

It looks like you did pretty well. You are, however, starting to get an unusual amount of white cabs in your game room.  The game room looks really nice, though.

Your Time Soldiers looks like it was originally a Stratovox
